A now-removed Argos UK product page briefly revealed the LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade set, listing a price, release date, images and a full product description.
The set is tied to the LEGO Super Mario theme and uses Nintendo’s Donkey Kong IP to recreate the original arcade experience in LEGO form.
According to the Argos listing, the LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade set (model number 72051) carried a suggested retail price of £149.99 and an indicated release date of August 1, 2026.
The listing included a piece count listed as 1,367 in the summary while the product description concluded with a slightly different total of 1,371 pieces, a discrepancy visible in the removed page.
The Argos description framed the set as a ‘‘collectible arcade game’’ recreation of Nintendo’s original Donkey Kong arcade level, intended for adult builders (18+).
It described an authentic level build featuring Jumpman, a Donkey Kong figure and Lady, along with scaffold, ladder and hammer details.
The listing also explained that the model contains a mechanism that circulates barrels in a continuous loop and that a lever can be pulled to release barrels into play.
In practical terms, the page stated builders can move Jumpman with a joystick and press a button to make him jump over barrels; one line in the description specified that the mechanism includes 21 barrels released one at a time.
Dimensions supplied by Argos put the finished model at over 39 cm (15.5 in.) high, 27 cm (10.5 in.) wide and 15 cm (5.5 in.) deep.
The listing reiterated the set’s positioning as a retro display piece suitable for game rooms and shelves and suggested it as a gaming-themed gift for adults and older teens.
It also referenced LEGO’s Replay program, inviting donors to give used bricks so they can be repurposed and rehomed by charitable partners.
Images and a full product description were present on the Argos storefront before the page was removed.
As of publication, neither LEGO nor Nintendo has published a formal announcement tied to this Argos listing.
